My Journey as a Health and Wellness provider started in my teens when I studied Christianity and achieved a one-year bible degree. In my 20’s when I became a fitness instructor and continued to study western religion, and psychology. I became a yoga instructor shortly after turning 30 and studied yoga philosophy, eastern religions, and spirituality. I found a powerful guru known as Amma and studied non-dualism (Advaita Makaranda) in my transpersonal clinical psychology doctoral program. It was also in my Doctoral program I discovered energy psychology and became a Certified Energy Health Profession through the Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology.

For 30 years I have learned many styles of yoga and energy techniques to assist my clients in their health, wellness, and goal achievement. I attended a two-hour workshop addressing a non-dual approach to therapy. I took the workshop and knew immediately I needed to immerse myself and be trained in it. I felt like I came home in finding AAIT because it is congruent with yoga and non-dualism philosophy. I’ve experienced many transformations with AAIT and I’m having amazing success with my coaching clients. AAIT trains the mind to shift out of reactiveness from emotional, visual, feeling, mental pain or stress, to inner spaciousness, creativity, and non-reactive problem solving.

About Debora

When I was a child my life was challenging and I had no role models. I was plagued with low-self esteem, attachments, negative thinking and learning disabilities. I grew up with a strong spiritual disposition, very active in church and I even have a one year bible degree. However, that did not protect me from having MANY difficult life problems and making many embarrassing mistakes!

At 27, I needed to figure out how to be internally happy and not look for it from external life events. In my 20’s I became a fitness professional and full time dental assistant. I learned I had a unique way of calming patients and it was my destiny to be a helping professional. In my 30’s, I became a yoga instructor while I was a full time university student and utilized yoga philosophy and meditation in my counseling techniques. I intuitively became interested in energy therapy even though I had no idea what it was. One of my yoga students introduced me to the technique of Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) and I became a Master-Instructor IET therapist teaching levels 1 through 3. I went through so many changes in my early to mid 30’s including discovering my guru Amma and having a Kundalini awakening. I eventually authored my book on Kundalini: Empowering the Mind Body Heart and Soul.

I learned Reiki and enrolled in the transpersonal clinical psychology program at Sofia University in Palo Alto. Even though my own grandfather had mental illness, I decided I did not wish to complete my Ph.D. and work with the diagnosis of mental illness as a licensed therapist. Instead, I focused on the Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) and became a Certified Energy Health Practitioner (CEHP), and Consultant. To be honest, I cannot believe I do this amazing work! I just kept wanting to learn and I believe in the human potential to heal. I find the mind so fascinating and we are all so unique regarding how we process life. I just LOVE teaching people self-empowering energy techniques using the power of words and self-acceptance.

Every client I work with, every class I teach, every speaking engagement, each book I author, is a deeply fulfilling achievement. I am amazed at how much love I have for the work I am spiritually called to do. I have overcome so much! This is why I know you can also achieve any and every goal your heart desires! My other achievements is having the financial freedom and time for donations and volunteer work. I was asked to be a mentor for Rising World Wide, https://risinginternational.org/ Here I donate financially and coach homeless women or single moms.

I donate financially to https://amma.org/ and help feed the homeless through her local organization in CA. I donate financially to https://www.peta.org/ monthly and sporadically to other non-profits as needs arise. I am a volunteer for the auxiliary coast guard. I am a grandma who enjoys surfing, bike riding, jogging, snowboarding, reading, walking my dog, travelling and dancing with my husband and friends.
